I was surfing the craigslist ads today and came across this ad. http://helena.craigslist.org/pts/5290412753.html
Interesting thing is the data plates indicating that it was made by the Johnson Furnace company. I had never seen one of these and thought it was interesting. Probably just shows my lack of actual knowledge of the 416's though. |

There were several companies with contracts to build the M416 trailers including: Anthony, Fayette, Johnson, Furnace and Stevens to name a few.

Its my understanding that Johnson had a factory here in Troy, MI about 3 miles from my house. Supposedly, that's where the trailers were made. I haven't looked into that yet though to see if its true. The building I was told they were built in is still standing.
